I which I totally agree. According to my roommate Truck, these are the four dirtiest syllables in the English language: cocktail weenie “Because,” he explains, “the phrase ‘cocktail assfuck’ would just be redundant.” In other news, goblinbox.com will turn six years old on Friday!
In which there’s food and drink. My girl Raybo texted me last night and asked me what I was doing. I texted back that I was doing nothing. (Which wasn’t exactly true. I was sitting on my bedroom floor in my pajamas, winding a ball of sock yarn.) She replied that she’d like to take […]
In which I bore my non-knitting readers half to death. I’ve been knitting myself a hat. This is the third hat that I’ve started for myself; the other two I gave away because when they were finished they weren’t my hat. This hat is brown and pink, which are totally my colors. It’s not fuzzy, […]
In which there’s a parcel! Yay! The mailman came back this afternoon and left a box on the porch. This box contains the items I got with the Patternworks gift certificate my mom sent me for Christmas: I’ve been waiting for this box for over a week! I got a felted clog pattern, 2 skeins […]
In which I feel a change a-coming. It’s official. I didn’t get the office manager job. (I think the HR woman wanted to hire me but got overruled, but that’s just a gut feeling and I may have manufactured it to make myself feel better. I wanted that job, damn it.) I’m going to drive […]
In which it turns out that complaining does do you some good. Yesterday I felt all shitty and marginal and rejected and sorry for myself, so I wrote a big old whiny post about it. Within an hour of posting I’d had two heartfelt private emails and a long IM conversation aimed at helping me […]
In which I’m utterly directionless. I’ve mentally reviewed my second interview here and have convinced myself that I’m not going to get hired. They told me last Tuesday that they hoped to have decided “by the end of the week.” Although I exchanged email wishes with the HR chick for a pleasant weekend last Friday, […]
In which NLW cracks me all the fuck the way up. The Ever-Handsome Mr J was out of town last night, so NLW called me and took me out to dinner at Pizza Hut. I love that about her. We talked about me, then we talked about her. Then we bought cranberry juice and chocolate […]
In which I complain. I need a simple, clean, working 3-column WP theme (because I’m tired of the one I’ve been using for the past two years or so!). Today I went to the Theme Viewer, searched for Widget-ready 3-column themes, downloaded six of them, and tested them out. Three didn’t work at all — […]
In which I’m almost afraid to be excited about it. I just got home from a second interview here, this one with both the HR manager and the CEO, for an office manager position. The CEO is very sharp, mellow, and nice, and I liked him as much as I like the HR woman. They […]
